GA Dave,
Info on this rig.
Bruce
1985 Ford C-8000/Bruco, canopy cab, 1000/750. This piece had a couple firsts in the company. It was the first unit ordered with a canopy cab and with the distinct paint scheme of white over "Smurf Blue", Cat 3208 diesel, automatic, 5 KW generator. Chassis purchased from Wolfe Motors of Lancaster. It was housed on 9/26/86 as an attack unit, but was converted to a rescue-pumper in 1990. It was said that this piece was the last complete unit built by Bruco which went into the rebuild only business. Sold on 11/4/05 with the 1979 Ford C/Bruco pumper-tanker for $45,000 in total for both to the Stewart County Fire Department, TN. Went south on 11/17/05. In 2006, owned by the District 11 FD (Carol County, TN), still lettered for Westwood.
